Why is silence still attached to Imp Psychic Scream?

One thing to keep in mind, we're looking for direct questions. Keep 'em short and to the point. If a paragraph is needed to list the many concerns over class performance, chances are it's not going to help us gather what seem to be the most common questions. The more straight forward your questions are presented, the more smooth this process will go. :)

Why do priests need rogues to be viable in 2v2 and 3v3?

When are priests getting get-out-of-jail card such as other healers - druid shape shifting, paladin freedom. Instead of relying on teammate peels and gearing almost exclusively towards survival.

This is a more general purpose mechanic question than priest-specific, but I suppose I'll ask anyway:

Do you think that the 5-second rule still has a place in the game anymore?

Is surge of light intentionally designed to get munched if you're already casting FH and it procs during the cast?

Are there plans to address the somewhat awkward scaling with haste? Is there any way that Mind Blast could have it's cooldown scale with haste?

Why does shadow not have a DPS increasing cooldown to stack with Heroism and/or other "Unload Big Damage Now" parts of PvE fights?

Why is Body and Soul deep in the Holy tree? It feels more like a disc talent.

Does Blizz inten to help with haste-to-dot scaling in the near future?

Does blizz have any cards up their sleeves that will be brought to the class that will make the game play a little bit more fun?

Anything in store to help with shadow pvp/arena viability?

Shadow has several bugs: MF clipping, Phorror (travel time and facing), and dispersion not working on several boss fights in Ulduar.. any changes?

Will Shadow priests see any changes in utility for raid content? Replenishment is now given by numerous classes and we are no longer "needed" as a battery. Also Vampiric Embrace lacks luster for healing in a raid environment.

What happened to Chastise, and is there ever a chance we will see it brought back? For all Priests, not just Dwarves?


Why is Shadowfiend so easily CC'd? Is there any plan to make it a bit more durable in PvP?

Is something going to be done for Shadow priests in regards to haste taking up a lot of the stats on new gear. It's a very lackluster stat for Shadow priests as in most of their damage is from DOT's and Nukes on a cooldown. Will haste have a greater benifit for Shadows?

healer let him die and said "you dont seem to be fighting better" lol

Are there any changes for Hymn of hope which will convert it to a Discipline spell so that it is castable while in shadow form?

Q u o t e:
Why does shadow not have a DPS increasing cooldown to stack with Heroism and/or other "Unload Big Damage Now" parts of PvE fights?


/agree with other two comments, and this one. But if you do time your shadowfiend right, you can see some good numbers from it with bloodlust up. I've done up to 50k dmg with him durring a bloodlust.

A question for that being though, does shadowfiend gain my haste(with bloodlust up, meaning I can use it after) or do I have to use it first? One idea I had was giving us a talent that when our shadowfiend uses shadowcrawl we gain the same 15% damage boost. Problem is Spriests would pop him at the start of a fight to give SW:P that 15% boost and refresh it. Since that problem has yet to be fixed.

I know it use to work the right way, but they changed it for pvp I think as people would dot someone up, run away, change gear into a pure damage build and watch them die. Perhaps change the rules for pve as gear change cannot happen?


Q. Can it be added that dots be given the ability to "go up to" 6 seconds over their normal duration? This would give us a better refreshing window and in the end a cleaner rotation. This will grealy reduce the need of addons to watch debuffs to time everything perfectly.

Ex. 5sec left on VT, cast VT, now at 18.5(1.5s cast time).

why does inner fire still have a hit count when you seem to agree cleave is too strong? inner fire lasts maybe 3 seconds with two melee on us, after which we take 20% more damage.

1) As a primarily dot based DPS class without a spammable nuke or CC, what can be done to ensure that priests have viable healing and DPS specs for PVP?

2) Why is compeditive priest DPS and a good chunk of our survivability tied directly to shadowform?

Are we ever going to go back to actually having to watch our mana, and find time for FSR? Mana management used to be a big thing with priests.

priests benefited from rocket boots far more than any other healer, and likely had the highest r.b. enchant rate of any class, will there be any mobility compensation for the nerf?
